Jell-O with strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream

June 28, 2014

Jell-O layered with berries, whipped cream and a little bit of chocolate sprinkles is a simple sweet dessert. The theme is red, white and blue for the 4th of July. This is something I haven’t made in a long time as evident from the expressions and comments made by my kids and Bill. I have always enjoyed Jell-O especially when it has been mixed, layered, or combined with other things. This recipe is basic and straight forward, the only decision you have to make is how to layer the four ingredients then top it off with chocolate sprinkles.

3. Use a regular table knife and cut Jell-O into ½”-1″ cubes {see above image}. Loosen the Jell-O squares with the knife by sliding it around the inside perimeter of the glass container and under the Jell-O. Don’t worry if they are slightly irregular in shape.

4. Use a serrated bread knife or a large chef’s knife to cut the chocolate chips into little pieces to make sprinkles.

5. Combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and whip together until it’s stiff but not over whipped.

6. In a 6 oz/8 oz glass start layering Jell-O, whipped cream, blueberries and strawberries. Top it off with a spoon full of whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. Repeat the steps for the other glasses. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
